To The Mangram Family,I am truly sorry for your loss. I know you have many wonderful memories of your time with Laverne. When you reflect on the memories you shared they will bring a smile to your heart. I know this is a difficult time, but the Bible gives us a wonderful future hope , Revelation 21:4 says death will be no more. The Bible promises we will live in a world free of death. This is an awesome future promise made by Almighty God to obedient mankind. May you have peace.

Imagine a time in the future when those in the grave will be brought back to life here on earth! The Bible repeatedly speaks of such a time. Describing what conditions on earth will then be like, the Bible states that God “will wipe out every tear from [our] eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.”​—Revelation 21:3, 4.

To family and friends my deepest sympathies to you for the loss of your love one. Losing a loved one in death is very painful. May you find comfort in the Scriptures found at John 5:28,29 and Isaiah 26:19 that promises our loved ones who have died can live again! May the God of all comfort and tender mercies sustain you at this difficult time. 2 Corinthians 1:3,4

Please accept my condolences for your loss. Death is an enemy in which Jehovah God promises to do away with forever. (1 Corinthians 15:26; Isaiah 25:8,9; Revelation 21:3,4) He also promises us that there will be a resurrection of our dead loved ones. (John 5:28,29)
